+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #600718 +++

Hi,
the introspection.m4 from gobject-introspection requires autoconf 2.60 or newer for the AS_CASE macro. It would be nice to replace it with something else for compatibility with older autoconf.

Also gobject-introspection's and gir-repository's configure.ac only requires autoconf 2.59 which is too old for that macro ;)
Comment 1 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2009-12-11 01:42:39 UTC 
We don't actually use the macro in gobject-introspection itself. But we should bump the required version to 2.62 in gir-repository.
I'm not sure about rewriting the macro for older releases, 2.62 was released 18 months ago, should be enough...
Comment 2 Johan (not receiving bugmail) Dahlin 2010-04-07 16:35:27 UTC 
Marking as WONTFIX, just require 2.60 or don't use the macro.
